eXpurgate Virus Outbreak Detection identifies and marks new viruses or worms as soon as minutes or seconds after their initial appearance. This early virus detection closes the time gap between the outbreak of a new virus wave and conventional virus scanners’ signature updates. As a part of the eXpurgate virus protection, Virus Outbreak Detection enables uninterrupted protection against viruses as soon as they appear.

The Virus Outbreak Detection method is based on eXpurgate technology: just like spam, new viruses propagate with incredible speed. eXpurgate quickly and reliably identifies them as a new risk based on the appearance of additional characteristics. The head start, as compared to classic, signature-based virus scanners, works out on average at over twelve hours.

eXpurgate Virus Outbreak Detection is a part of eXpurgate Anti-Virus and available for Eleven Managed E-Mail Security as well as for Eleven In-House E-Mail Security.
